Ericsson got my nomination for “most impressive stand” with an exhibition presence that completely took over the entire Hall 5 with some quite unmistakeable Swedish design.
The mHealth area was no exception, under a “Phone Lines, Life Lines” slogan it used a “lit up blood bag” theme to convey the opportunity for Mobile Blood Analysis (pictured here behind Hajo van Beijma of Text to Change).
The stand demos had a major focus on Dermatology with demos using Camera Phones fitted with DermLite II PRO HR Digital Dermascopes (by 3Gen LLC).
As well as demonstrations of the potential for remote infield microscopy using Cellscope style devices:
There were also lots of examples of online patient surveys being done through Ericssons Mobile Survey Tool, this sure sign of enlightenment can only lead to one thing… It won’t be long before they appreciate the need and benefits of more comprehensive and scientifically validated data sets.
Peter Hakansson, Senior Research Engineer at Ericsson, also contributed to a mHealth panel on the main conference programme. More here.

As a stockist of the Dermlite, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Dermlite II could be attached to a camera phone! very interested :-)
Hi Noreen,
Thanks for your comment.
In addition to working with GP clinics here in Ireland we are also setting up a remote dermatology advice service with specialists in Londons Harley Street.
So if any of your customers want remote diagnostic services for their Dermlite products don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Best wishes,
David
